Who is popularly known as the father of the White Revolution in India?
Dr. Verghese Kurien
Dr. Verghese Kurien is correct.
Dr. Verghese Kurien led Operation Flood (launched in 1970) as chairman of the National Dairy Development Board, the programme that made India the world's largest milk producer. This dairy boom is called the White Revolution.
He also built the Amul cooperative model at Anand, Gujarat, and his birthday, 26 November, is observed as National Milk Day. Tribhuvandas Patel founded the Kaira district cooperative that became Amul, but the title "Father of the White Revolution" belongs to Kurien.
